LA Travelogue I

On the first day we reach LA at 5pm, we are all dead beat.

We check in our Airbnb studio apartment in the evening.

After this trip, in my personal opinion, I will never stay in Airbnb ever again.

It isn't as clean as what people always mention, even if the location is the best. 

We are walking down to the hollywood main street after checking in!

We have Mexican Food opposite the famous chinese theatre. 

And this is our view.

The street of LA at night.

We walked down the street and saw, American Apparel, where i sludge most of my money at!

Their clothes is damn pretty!

That night we turn in at about 9pm because the next day Ash had an appointment with some flying thing.

We dropped him off the place and this is what we see. DAMN COOL LA.

We also attended his briefing which is super cool.

When he is about to do the flying, we left and this car plate is what we notice.

We head for A&W and America is a confusing place!

When we enter, they wrote KFC. 

Please try their KFC in America, it is by far the best KFC I have ever eaten!

Even the salad which I don't take in SG, taste so good there! I even finish it all by myself.

But i suggest you guys to share, because the portion for one meal is always so big!

After having lunch, we went for WALMART!

And we back and have a early rest!

Next up, Universal Studio, HOLLYWOOD!

Monterey Bay and Pacific Coast Travelogue

Since i got some time now, I shall blogged about my LA trip. 

We rented a car to drive from SF to LA.

In between, we stopped over at Monterey bay for its famous aquarium and pacific coast for a night before continuing to LA. 

I didn't really take a lot of photo because I am amaze by the aquarium itself.

After that, we went for lunch. This is where I have the best seafood in my entire life.

This famous track, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is actually on the way. 

So we visit it and took this photo of our rented car. Ash and Joehunt went a little crazy in the souvenir  shop.

We choose to go by the pacific coast route, because of the pretty coaster view which Joehunt and I didnt see before, however it is the longer route, hence the overnight. 

This is one of the photos we stop and took photos.

There is actually a lot of lodge available in that area. 

Ash booked Big Sur Lodge because of the photos on the web. 

It is a lodge in the middle of the forest and it will be damn cold at night!

To be honest, driving on the pacific coast route to the lodge, we dont even have any signal! 

Not even on the router. This shows how ulu this place is! 

SF Travelogue

Hey guys! I am back. Sorry for neglecting this space for a long time.

I am currently busy with work, yoga and korean class. 

Ok, lets get started. 

Ash and I went to the States in May (I know, so long ago!) for our annual trip.

His brother went with us for about a week before he goes back to sg while we continue our journey.

First, wifi router was rented from Changi Airport (google, changi recommendation).

It can connect up to 5 devices.

Because in the States, it is not easy and cheap to buy a sim card, 

and we are going on a roadtrip which we need google map.

For 16 days, we paid $129sgd. 

For hotel, we stayed at Hotel Fusion located at Union Square. 

I highly recommend you guys to stay at that area. 

Because the cable car starting point is right in front of GAP store. 

Cable car ticketing booth is located in front of Forever21.

From the airport, we take the airport train to the town area.

When we are there everyday, we travel by cable car which is the cheapest transport there.

Still quite ex as compare to sg.

We took the cable car to Fisherman Wharf the second day we are there.

On the first day, we didn't go anywhere due to jet lag. We slept in the hotel the whole day.

The first thing we do is to walk to Pier 39 to see the seals. Please dont be fool!

They are very smelly! Thats why i stand so far to take photo. 

We also bought a boat tour ticket and go out to view the golden gate bridge, we are lazy to walk all the way there!

And Alcatraz from far, but the weather is super COLD!

At Fishermen's Wharf, there is two ships that were used in WW2.

One of it is a submarine which save singapore!

There is a ex navy officer who explained things to us, when ask where we come from, he is so delight to hear we are from singapore. 

The other is a steam engine ship which also fought for singapore against the japanese in WW2.

At night we went for our Alcatraz Night Tour. Luckily, we booked early!

When we tried to book for Joehunt, the ticket was sold out. 

He got no choice but to went for the Day tour on the next day. 

When you first enter, you will be entering the shower area. 

This is where you collect your audio headset. 

They do provide the headset in other langugages as well.  

On the 3rd day, Joehunt went for his Alcatraz Day tour (have to book in advance) while we climb up to the coit tower, at sg 2am.

The city skyline of SF. 

While waiting for his brother, we went for Hillstone for lunch. 

Since the next day, we are leaving SF for LA.

That night, we went A&F for some shopping! And had pizza for dinner.

Next post, my LA trip.

Sean & Christina Wedding

Ash friend, Sean is getting married. So we attended their wedding at Tanjong Beach Club.

Photobomb by Timothy. -.-

Loving my heels from Melissa Shoes.

Valentine Day

"I don't like flowers, but I love food."

I request Ash not to buy any flowers for me this year.

I don't want him to waste unnecessary money like what he did last year.

To be honest, flowers are really waste of money.

And it will die within a week. 

So I told him, a yummy dinner will do.

The restaurant he brought me to is where he ate before.

The food is super yummy and the price is affordable. Totally worth visiting again!

Especially the squid Ink Pasta. So YUMS.

Update.

Sorry for not updating for awhile. 

Ash and I are in the mist of planning our next trip in May. I shall wait till the airline ticket is book then I'll announce. 

Ash and I are trying to cut down our expenses so we agree to only go restaurants twice a month. 

Why twice? 

Because I will treat Ash one expensive meal per month and he will treat me.

Not because we are saving for flat or what not, but because we feel our expenses are too high. 

Being thrifty isn't a bad thing right? (:

My all time favourite prawn noodles. 

Its the BOOM. 

I also love the prawn noodles near my house.

This is one of the "twice a month" spluge. 

A newly found place when we are around that area. 

I have been slacking during the festive period, so I made a promise to myself that I will spend more time to exercise this month.

Back on mat at least twice a week. 

This milk ice cream is so nice and smooth with caramel syrup drench over it. 

I dont really like the honey and honey comb, because it has those raisins aftertaste. 

Guo en went BKK over the month of December. 

He got me all of the above. The polka dots is actually a tote bag. 

I love it when people went oversea and buy me gifts.

Ash got capitamall voucher during his company christmas party. 

And he gave it to me, so I went to got myself a gold edition eliffel tower to add onto my pandora bracelet. 

Cant wait to fill it up but one charm is so expensive! *jawdrop*
